Good Dummy! May 31, 2010
William J. Veal (Yuma, AZ United States)
Since buying my wife one of these camearas I finally found a way for her to read the instructions on how to use it without getting frustrated. Very good book!
I Guess I'm a Dummy............... May 19, 2010
Graydon B. Young (Shingle Springs, CA United States)
I guess I'm a dummy because this book speaks directly to me. It is like the author is taking me by the hand and comforting me in my frustrations about the complexities (for me) of this camera as while at the same time proceeding to go on to explain something else about the camera with clarity and simplicity which is not at all easy to do with technical stuff like using a piece of equipment.
My favorite thing is how, after covering a series of items where there are choices to be made by the operator of the camera and I really don't feel like I know enough to make a choice, the author gives her recommendation for what setting to use at least to start with and then reevaluate as you learn more. I really appreciate that. Other guide-books will explain all of those choices and what they mean but not give a clue what setting to start with.
This is an excellent "Dummy" book.
"XSi/450D for Dummies" is a 10" May 3, 2010
Douglas E. Jones (Jacksonville, FL)
Easy to understand language, in layman's terms. Much better in explaining the functions and features of the camera than any other book I have seen!
 Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi/450D for Dummies May 2, 2010
T. J. Mcconnell
I bought this book in the US because I had left my instruction book that came with the camera in another country. I must say I was so surprised how easy it was to follow and how each section had x-ref referrals to others. I even found features on the camera I never knew I had. Canon should use this as their instruction manual. Would recommend to professionals and amateurs alike.
Not a dummy any more April 29, 2010
Michael Madden
I've been using a point an shoot for years. Before that I had a film SLR camera, but recently took the plunge with the Canon XSi. I decided very quickly that I needed more help than the manual that came with the camera. This is a very informative guide to the Canon XSi: clearly written, good illustrations, written for someone like me who is not an expert photographer. As I worked my way through the book, I tried out all the button, knobs, and other gadgets -- and they worked as advertised. What a novel idea!
